this is the discovery of my whole life. i have about 66 years of music in me at 72. but my mind was never blown this good . until now. i'm so glad to be alive ! this is THE most amazing show i have ever seen.
Henry Purcell belonged to a family of musicians. His father enrolled him at a very young age in the children’s choir in the Royal Chapel directed by H. Cook. In 1672 P. Humfrey succeeded Cook and proposed to introduce his students to the new French and Italian styles. Upon changing his voice, Purcell becomes Blow’s student. At age 11, he began writing his first works and in 1679, he was appointed composer of the king for violins and replaced Blow on Westminster Abbey organ. His first published work is a collection of 12 sonatas for three, in which Vitali’s influence (1683) can be seen. In 1689, his masterpiece Dido and Aeneas is performed for the first time, whose score is marvelous, with admirable perfection even in the smallest details. The circumstances surrounding Purcell’s death at age 36 are unknown. He was buried on 26 November, next to the organ of Westminster Abbey, and during the funeral ceremony the magnificent anthem he had composed for the funeral of Queen Mary was played. He composed one opera, five pseudo-operas, religious music, profane vocal music, instrumental music, etc. The music is magnificent and of incredible elegance and grace. This is one of the greatest masterpieces written to date. The voices of the soloists, the choir, the orchestra and their direction are superb. Viva Purcell and his music, one of the greatest genius of the English composers that ever existed so far. What divine interpretation!!!
This is an amazing beautiful performance. L'Arpeggiata are always startlingly good. Voces8 are in the absolute top rank. All the principals can feel truely proud of their parts. The cameo of Capezzuto added a touching close. Thanks to all these wonderful people.
I actually attended this concert live. I have to say it challenges the more straight version of the opera in some interesting ways. Ways I don't always agree with. What I can say is that in the hall love it was magnificent. There was an instant standing ovation from the whole audience of 1700 people who were gripped from start to finish. You know what you are going to get if you go to a Christina Pluhar concert. Her ideas aren't for everyone. But I LOVED this concert, and I know everyone else did too. BRAVO!
Barnaby, I empathise with your comments. It is on my wish list to see a Christina Pluhar/ L'Arpeggiata concert. I am not learned in music but even to me it seems clear that their performances are unlikely to be utterly "authentic". However I feel we need performers like this (and many of the great young performers coming out of France) to rekindle interest in early baroque in particular, and classical music in general. The period instrument movement was a breath of fresh air and we need to keep refreshing the canon or I fear that younger generations will simply have no interest in this sublime music. Perhaps musicians needed to go back to a rather scholarly version of "authenticity" before they could be allowed the freedom to make the music more appealing to a contemporary audience without losing any of the essence? I love both!
It was great to be there once more. Such a privilege to see the ensemble once more live. Most hilarious moment at 54:13 when the shoe of one of the performers got stuck at the floor on stage! She solved the situation beautifully but I could hardly stop laughing in the following serious scene. This was a total spectacle and the crowd loved it! They were standing instantly after the performance and clapped for minutes. Only the few purists had to leave.
To be honest I understand both of the opinions stated in the comments. I do feel, however, that this is an interesting and refreshing way of experiencing Purcell. For those moments when we would prefer a more conventional performance, there are plenty of those to pick from on TH-cam. Creative reimaginings will never replace traditional performance, so whichever you prefer, there will be an abundance of performances to choose from.
Love the traditional baroque instrumentation. Fun as a violinist to watch the actual styling, especially the instruments and the bowing techniques. So different. We don't get to see that so often in America. Always like Purcell.
I'm enjoying this tremendously! I'm a big fan of Dido and Aeneas, and the new chapter feels close enough to feel right, but bold enough to be exciting in itself. It's lively, not just imitative. Good art!
In fact this and the Heathcliffe Blair versions are both very pleasing alternative takes - I suspect they'd both rile some people, but these things give me joy.
Eine großartige, dem damaligen Zeitgeist voll entsprechende Aufführung! Das ist LEBENDIG & HISTORISCH begründet zugleich! So macht alte Musik Spaß... HERRLICH.
With the mystically animated dance section , starting at 39:00 Purcell seemed to anticipate some kind of 22nd century progressive jazz. If this piece doesn't get you dancing, then surely nothing could!
tThe quality of the music and the individual performances are beyond measure. all the women like angels, no matter the shape or size, the are outstandingly NORMAL, effortlessly stylish at the same time. the solos from the cornetist, keyboard player and the cellist invest the music with the lightness and style of the best in jazz.
And the Bassist, man. Purcell a la Charles Mingus, Thelonious, Gerry Mulligan... :) Agreed re the ladies - G-d's reminder that beauty has its many flavors, not so?
Hell, even Wild Bill Davison. Note those string players quietly plucking along during the solos - for the sheer fun of it? Not sure they were supposed to be playing those measures.
I love this Pluhar's rhythmic style of Ancient Music! The percussion, the tanginess, the naturality of her interpretations. TANKS for sharing this video!!!
so subtile, elegant and full of humour and talents. Christina Pluhar makes this music so pleasant and refreshing. Thanks for posting this video which made me change my mind about the baroque style and made me discover l'Arpeggiata !
Dido and Aeneas é uma ópera muito sombria e o modo como é apresentado por Pluhar afasta um pouco a escuridão sem deixar de ser fiel ao texto. Gostei. Parabéns!
A wonderful, adventurous performance, stretching the limits in some cases. It makes me proud to be from Europe, where the arts are supported by many wonderful festivals, such as this one in Utrecht that allows the performers to leaver the beaten path. If you compare this performance with a true to the score recording of the opera you will hardly find any overlap, which was OK with me, since I have never seen Purcell's original opera. I agree with other comments that early music must be made interesting by bringing in new ideas and a good sense of humor. I have seen Don Giovanni with the chorus of the street guys on stage dressed in jeans and drinking from coke cans. I have seen the gods in Cavalli's opera Il Calisto descend in business suits during a remarkable performance at Staatstheater Wiesbaden, Germany, and I was not offended. Make more of this!
'When I am laid..'- er komt niemand in de buurt van Emma Kirkby. Zij zingt het hart in deze muziek. Maar dit is toch een prachtige uitvoering. Ik vind vooral de overdadige expressie van gevoel van deze zangeres heel goed passen bij het smartlapperige van de opera zelf, en ze zingt het even overdreven, heel mooi. Klopt prima.
Very controversial comments to be read here. People seem to either love it or hate it. Like the Sydney Opera House, when first built. I love it, really invigorating, raw and fresh. Returning theatre to wooden boards, candle lights and painted scenes.
As an architect, I regret not yet visiting the iconic hall in Sydney. However, having grown up backstage at the Metropolitan Opera & Carnegie Hall, I can admire the daring forms at Sydney, but would judge it purely on acoustics, sightlines & movement of crowds (& the sherry available at intermission). Innovation is essential, & must "function," in all arts.
¡Maravilloso! Estoy preparando mi oposición gracias a las cadencias tan sublimes que provoca el texto, la música, la dirección de orquesta y la interpretación de los cantantes. Realmente exquisito.

Christina Pluhar has been my daily companion for ten years
7:16 A revelation! Stunning! A masterpiece!
The best music never dies...

Like a breath of fresh air! A truly liberating experience
This performance has captured my soul for over 5 years, I cannot wait to witness their performance post Covid. A triumph :)
Perfectly wonderful. Vibrant, full of life. Totally alive, dynamic.

@@peterroycroft I think the direction is taking improvisation further, not burlesque

Listening from the kitchen, the intervention at 16:30 brought me scurrying back to see what was going on!

The sailors' dance after 'Come Away' is excellently jaunty here - who could listen without hand-jiving?
No words!!! So beautiful!!!
Le plus grand compositeur anglais. Merci.
Wow. What a treat. Thank You Very Much. 💖👏👏👏

Late but not? least... Extraordinary performance in any way!! SPECTACULAR - thank you for sharing.
27:18 sopranos and countertenors are flawless cherubines up there! Superb!
Fantástica toma de sonido y preciosa versión. Una maravilla de grabación
Amazing!
What am I doing at four in the morning watching this beauty, which I intended to only take a peek into before going to bed? Nasty TH-cam.
Increíble, magnifica interpretación.
Prachtig. What divine interpretation. Swinging Purcell on 41:00 (!)
Bravo! A great performance, wow!

Great thing from Purcell. Thanks,

Holy shit... Yet another time I am riveted to the bloody computer by L'Arpeggiata.
Magnifique. Merveilleux!
Just, wonderful!!
Absolutely beautiful!, I never enjoyed an hour and a half so much!. Many thanks. Le gra mor!.Gérard lacey in Ireland. X.
so subtile, elegant and full of humour and talents. Christina Pluhar makes this music so pleasant and refreshing. Thanks for posting this video which made me change my mind about the baroque style and made me discover l'Arpeggiata !
E' meraviglioso, intenso, coinvolgente ,fantastico ,attuale come scritto ieri!
Purcell's contemporary, Samuel Pepys, would have loved this as he was very definitely no prude!
Fun and interesting performance. Playfully and beautifully done.
Muito bonito 😍 esse estilo de música me fisgou, amo cada apresentação ❤️
Quelle claque! Effectivement, rafraichissant est bien le mot! J'adore cette approche.

Purcell aurait adoré ! C'est génial...
I love it, i love Christina Pluhar
Spećtacular! Bravissimo!
'When I am laid..'- er komt niemand in de buurt van Emma Kirkby.

Maar dit is toch een prachtige uitvoering.

Klopt prima.
Interessant. Mijn favoriet Dido is Janet Baker, kent u haar? th-cam.com/video/D_50zj7J50U/w-d-xo.html
💯 Really great production all around.
After this performance, I don't think I could ever watch another "standard" performance....what a bore that would be! Bravo!!
Carinissima la violinista bionda!
Certissimo.E pure la violinista bruna a destra e la violoncellista con gli occhiali
Adoro esta opera
grandiose et inspirant !
Merci à l’ensemble des instrumentistes et au chef bien sûr. Quel talent ! J’aime beaucoup l’instrument (luth).
Merci à toi 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Beautiful “remember me”. Brava.
Un sodo lavoro. Un stupendo risultato. Complimenti
I found it a very enjoyable interpretation.

I haven't yet gotten my head around what people like about things being "raw"
Sublime 🎇
